About time for a new post.

After finally remembering my right email address and password i am back online.
Shakayla is now 11 and a typical tween. The attitude sucks!!!. There are times when i still get the glimpse of my sweet wee girl. She is fantastic with the younger two and she loves them to bits. I don't think she has ever argued or had a go at them. She is shocking at helping to do chores but we have been making her to dry the dishes at night.
The other night after tea she washed and dried the dishes, cleaned up, folded washing and got the kiddies ready for bed all without being asked...i was blown away.
She still thinks her head is just there to look pretty. Last night at 11.30pm i went to goto bed and checked on her like i normally do and she had her lamp leaning up against the mattress it had started to burn a hole in the mattress and was smoldering. Needless to say i was so relieved i went into check on her and decided i will change the batteries on the smoke alarm just incase.
I went on school camp with her a few weeks ago. A freaken 4 hour walk through mud and sand was the first day. The second day i got bitten by the horse that i was leading.... has sort of put me of camps for a while.
Dear sweet brydee is so well behaved. She loves helping to do chores and helps with the washing, dishes and general cleaning up on a daily basis. She is still very much a daddys girl and loves curling up in bed with us first thing in the morning. She still has her Lala (elephant) who gets pulled around everywhere. She loves Dora and she can't wait until Santeeze (santa) comes. I am so looking forward to christmas this year as she finally understands and the magic will come back into xmas. Shakayla hasnt believed for a few years now so it is all so new again.
Brydee can't say Jordan she calls him Dore. Her and Jordy get on so well and play together all day.
Jordan.... well where do i start. He is finally walking at 18 months. I didn't think he would ever get the hang of it. He has been discharged from the dietician and has nearly hit 10kg. he is still under the paeds and has an appointment next week. I got his hair cut the other day :( he had a head full of blonde curls. He now looks like a little boy. He can hardly speak. He can say ta, dad and that. But he will get there. He is just slower than "normal" kids. He loves to sing in his monotone voice and bop away to music.
Yesterday we put the xmas carols on and sang and danced for over an hour. Both of the wee ones loved it and had the huge open mouthed smiles that just make you melt.
I am now working 3 nights a week. It is hard as i miss the kids and Pete heaps but its extra money honey. pete is fantastic with the kids i really couldn't ask for a better partner in him. he thinks nothing of doing all the housework and having everything perfect for me. he is one of lifes true diamonds.
Right i have rambled on a bit i now have to go and get ready for them and then i might wrap some of the xmas pressies. We have already gone for a walk today to look for bugs...weird child that i have loves bugs.
